Newcastle Falcons have hit the bullseye by partnering with Target Darts.

The leading brand in darts works with the best professional players in the game – their mission being to inspire all darts players to step beyond their limits.

As part of the link-up Newcastle Falcons will have a weekly ‘Hit The Target’ award for recognition of the breakdown.

Head coach Alex Codling is a big fan of Target and instigated this partnership, saying: “For me, darts is the perfect way for the lads to have fun away from rugby whilst still creating an element of competition amongst the group.

“Like the game of rugby, the margins are small and the necessity to remain calm in the key moments of the game are very similar.

“Target are at the forefront of darts, and it is great to be associated with such a successful and forward-thinking brand.”

The weekly winner will receive products from the Target Darts range, with the players’ team room also being kitted out with state-of-the-art darts set-ups.
